So using a term as an ethnonym for historically British ethnic people is racist?
If so, is it racist to assert or assume that ethnic Europeans exist?

Social justice fundamentalism asserts that there are favored (“oppressed”) groups, and disfavored (“oppressor”) groups.
True believers have created a largely arbitrary grouping called “white people”, assigning it the “oppressor” label.
If a favored group’s nation were flooded by “white people”, that would be seen as an emergent situation requiring remedy; the opposite is what we’re seeing play out in societies like Britain, and is Not a Problem. I’m committing an act of violence by even describing it in this way.
How or when a disfavored group is restored to neutral or favored status is undefined; one would presumably have to consult a head priest of the movement for an answer (and I wouldn’t expect any coherence or clarity).
It sounds like a Marxist structure with re-assigned labels.
What the hell are you on about.
"Native brit" does not identify a people the way "native american" does.
There is no entry in the dictionary for "native brit".
This is all I'm talking about.
Quit trolling.
"The English people are an ethnic group [...] native to England." [0]
"[White Brits] is an ethnicity classification used for the White population identifying as English..." [1]
The English are the native and indigenous ethnic group to England (London). White Brits are a category that includes the English.

OP was trying to talk about ethnic brits, and I think that was clear from the context. He was then rebuked for that.
The OP was me. I pointed out how DHH's uses the term "native brit" to mean "white person" even though that is not the meaning of "native", which means you were born somewhere.
